  • Hey, nice one! What is the thingie you´re using for ignition?

  • there not normal sparks they are molten metal

  • They're just like normal sparks, right? It's not like they could deposit a nice chunk of molten iron in my leg. Because that would be silly.

  • nice job on whoever left there bag right next to the fire

  • bag was there before fire=Poor friendship-abilities

  • nice sparker

  • I have it in my home in a bag right now! I got it from my dad, he is working on rails for trains!

  • yay another dumb ass kid with explosives, weee

  • @VanniGio Get back to cum guzzling and and fuck off

  • That was it but in small small amounts for soem reason does'nt generate enough HEAT to bore through steel. Placed in a Flower pot if usually works perfectly when elevated 5 inches above any steel, even 1/4" hardened steel.

  • If you mix it real good.... damn it melts steel real fast away :p just look at the wtc. how fast thay went down

  • Hi, nice vid. I just wanted to ask you, Did you make this thermite at home or did you buy the ingredients on ebay or something?

  • The ingredients are 25% iron oxide (Rust) and 75% aluminum powder. You can usually find both at a hardware store or at Wal-Mart. Also, for the record, it's not illegal, so ignore what they say at the checkout. XD

  • what do they say at the checkout?. Curious

  • @Rambosson2012 and that,s all iron oxide and aluminium powder?nothing more?please tell me

  • @florin171 ya you just mix iron oxide and aluminum powder cant remember the mix proportions tho :P

  • you wouldnt belive how mad my science teacher was tho he left to go work in yarm which was a shame now all my teachers are afraid to just burn a strip of magnesium ribon dno y i wouldnt try to claim off of the accident i would just say it was my own fault if i got hurt lol

  • i did a thermic reaction at my school in year 7 and the cloud of smoke resembled a mushroom cloud and the whole school had to be evacuated coz of the smoke lol but tht teacher left which saddened me

  • I wonder why? lol jk that's sounds like a pretty cool class, in my school we can't be anywhere near explosives.

  • I hate how much safety is put into schools now because now teachers can't show anything fun that makes science or other classes more fun and interesting.

    Dam, over protective parents, i hope they go to hell for ruining schools and their children.

  • amazingly said im in 6th grade all we exam is bullshit rocks from the grand canyon

  • Voodoo Glow Skulls playing in the background is the only thing that made this video worth watching...

  • thermite is iron oxide (rust) and aluminum if i remember correctly. thermite can be lit with a sparkler of the correct intensity, however magnesium is more efficent and commonly used.

  • Sparklers are made of magnesium...

  • Hey, I know thermite is in a lot of stuff that is readily available at most grocery stores, but I can't remember what. Any help?

  • unless he had some magnesium in there thats not thermite, you cant light it with a sparkler, or a blow torch for that matter. you need magnesium wire or magnesium flecks to light thermite.

  • Well since sparklers use iron to emit there white colored sparks... You can light termite with anything that dose not emit "cooling gasses" when it burns (as long as it burns hot enough). Suppository you can light the stuff with the flint from a lighter.

  • Its the magnesium that burns white, not iron.

  • potassium chlorate and sugar can light it and the white burning sparklers have magnesium in them

  • sparklers have magnesium in them (duh)

  • Actually you can light it with a sparkler, if the powder is fine enough. Actually if you get it really fine, u can put it on a match and light it.

  • Comment removed

  • "Suppository" lol!

  • sorry to say dude, but you are such a noob at this, why the hell would put your eyes, or your camera, up to something that is HOTTER THAN MAGMA you fucking idiot.

  • @moogoolala

    You are such a fucking buzzkill that even buzzkillington is less of a buzzkill than you. Go drive into a swamp.

  • about how much thermite did you use?

  • I hate to be the troll, but you suck it up big time! Your mommy was probably mad at you when you got sparkmarks on her camera case.

    Re-title this please.

  • guys get an ass load of sparklers take em apartemty them in a pile (make sure u see black stuff) then light made a mini mushrum cloud for me

  • 2204 Cel... C'mon get away from that damn Thermite... My friend and i promised each other to stay away from the shit when we blow up sum things!.. You now if u just get about 2 piece of molten iron oxide/Alo on you it wil burn through you! Idiot -.-

  • @lordpilot

    you and ur friend promised each other about explosions, i mean u guys actually promised each other. like promised you would take care of each other, like promised each other to stay away from explosions

    nice

  • buh

  • no 4000 dum ass

  • Since when is broken up sparkler thermite?

  • you ignite the thermite with the sparkler

  • you dumbshit you're standing right over the thermite when molten iron sparks are shooting out

  • yeah seriously idiot...

  • he put a sparkler in it to ignite lol... those wernt moltin sparks :))

  • You can use pure aluminium and file it down to a very fine powder. Mix in the Iron oxide, then light it up with a magnesium ribbon.

  • 1500 degrees. Temeprature of molten iron it is.

  • 4000-5000 degrees fahrenheit.

  • its burns up to 3000 degress

  • thats lava dood! throw it at somebody!

  • gys can some one elp me plz i gt th iorn oxide bt how do i gt th aluminum i herd u can use aluminum foil 2 ??

  • no try a science store like science and surplus or somwhere local

  • It needs to be in a fine powder.

  • so if i repost this ill still die but get a kiss from my chrush...

  • For those of you wanting to know where you can get thermite, you can get the two ingrdients easy enough: Iron oxide and aluminium filings, these can be made or bought over the internet, but i heard that you need magnesium strips to light it, these can be bought from science companies or in kids chemistry sets, i think.

  • you can also get the magnesium from a flint depending on the type.(i got mine from a military surplus store)

  • You just watched this video and your not sure what to use to light thermite? Maybe a sparkler?

  • it can be all bought over ebay

  • oh my god you idiot! you left your camera case next to the thermite!

  • i know there are two ingredients to thermite and all but where can you obtain them?

  • Canadian Tire? xD j/k i got some off my Lab Teacher for an "Experiment" ....got an 100% on it thoe :P he only game me about 3 Grams of Aluminum Powder and about 6 Grams of Iron Oxide powder the end result wasn't to extreme but i melted a 1/2 inch Concrete Block, so it was pretty cool, but to where as you can get it... you may have to order it, i don't think you can just buy it off the shelf.

  • thats what i figured. ive got the U.S. army manual of improvised munitions. i dont think thermite is in there but if it or any of the ingredients are, it has a list of likely places to find it. kind of a scary book, it really shouldnt be available to civilians lol

  • i see a video where US marines used a thermite grenade ?

  • yeah, oftentimes they pile up captured weapons and throuw in a thermite grenade. cooks off any ammo and melts the guns

  • What a horrible way to treat guns!

  • We did this experiment in the lab of my school and the teachers tie burned off...XD classic

  • Do not, I repeat DO NOT touch the glowing parts XD

  • umm duh the glowing parts are liquid iron.

  • my friend melted two of his toes of with some home made thermite. it looks NASTY!

  • i don't think toes melt

  • looks like fun XD

  • no offence or nething but it isnt really the smartest thing to stand over burning thermite witha camera and your face... just a thought.

  • its not smart no, but that small small amount even tho burning at like 2000 Degrees won't pose much of a threat from 2 feet away.

  • what did you light this with? magnesium strips seem hard to get a hold of...

  • Many sparklers have magnesium in them. You can usually light thermite with one.

  • You can find aluminum powder in an etch a sketch.

  • cool i couldnt find aluminum powder soo i filed down a bar of aluminum instead will it still work?????? or do i need really fine stuff like 300 mesh

  • 400 mesh does the trick.

    If its any bigger, ball mill it.

  • What an idiot. YOU DON'T STAND THAT CLOSE TO THERMITE, MORON!

  • HEY THERMITE IS COOL (HOT :D) AND DANGEROUS KEEP DISTANCE BUT HAVE FUN!

    dont know why im saying this but whatever :S

  • dude, to all who watch this...dont do it this way....1, use a LONG sparkler for a fuse, it looks like you nealy got your face burnt off. 2, concrete+heat=BOOM+shrapnel.

    so in a paddock with a long fuse and not poke it with a fire cracker

  • No shit theINchulk...to quote a famous man known as Abraham Lincoln, "You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time."

  • OMFG. The Natural science did a video about this. The Temperature at which the jet fuel burned turned the Beams supporting the WTC into a pool of metal. Thats around 2000-20000 gallons of fuel burning, that can definitely burn through steel. The weight of the stories above it crushed the molten levels until ut had enough speed to destroy the towers. They said that the WTC could stand a plane crash but the fuel was the reason for its collapse.

  • Ok, so so far this same fuel caused:

    1. Huge visible external fireball.

    2. The steel supports to melt or weaken to collapse.

    3. The lobby to explode by flowing down the 110 story elevator shafts then exploding.

    How many times does this fuel burn people?

  • what is thermite?

  • an mix of alminum powder and metaal oxide (rust)

  • actually only iron oxide

  • so basically you're just burning up rust?

  • CLEVER CUNT

  • yes, a sparkler is a good way to ingite thermite because they are cheap and easy to find. Sparklers burn at about 1700 F and thermite burns at about 4000 F. The sparkler is just hot enough to ignite it.

  • oops i mean were - the wtc collapses were a conspiracy.

  • a plane crash doesnt create molten lava pools, anyone who does not agree the wtc collapses werent a conspiracy obviously is not prepared to have an open mind. explore all theories then decide, dont be a sheep

  • don't be a delusional dick

  • Except for the fact that steel becomes as malleable as lead at 980 degrees, the temperature jet fuel burns at. It couldn't support that weight from the concrete and steel even if it didn't melt.

  • There were so many beams it could of held TWICE the weight even at 980 degrees. This has ALL been proven. Besides the fires were very low temps and you can even see PEOPLE standing in the crash wound.

  • or the fact that when steel is heated, it loses more then 60% of its strength. imagine about 20 stories of weight falling on one, of course itll crush it, keep adding weight and tower falls, dipshit

  • your very NON-mechanically minded! (stupid). Firstly, only a few floors were exposed to fire....why would EVERY SINGLE floor collapse the way it did. Secondly, fire fighters said they could even hear the explosive take down one floor at a time. Why dont u watch some of the evidence before trying to fool yourself that your Government is something its not. U stupid American.

  • The 'explosive' noise is the sound of the floors collapsing on top of eachother, one by one, in like a domino effect.

  • "domino effect"??!...........please explain what u mean by that.

  • ""domino effect"??!...........please explain what u mean by that" - "dominoe effect" is when you put dominoes bones next to each other and then push one bone to fall on the second one that falls on the third one etc. Like a chain reaction.

  • ye thanks pal i know what a 'domino effect' is. I wanted that other guy to answer my question....because HE doesnt know what he's talking about......"domino effect" has nothing to do with it.

  • The Lighter is birthday fireworks?

    Please response

    Thanks

  • Look at the video "WTC Thermite" and look at 1:26. If you dont think thats thermite then you have been seriously brainwashed by our gov.

  • I'm getting sick of you fags that watch a video made by some college idiot and suddenly think you're experts on structural engineering.

  • 911 was a scientific illusioon of the mind. You would not know seeking joy without Reality of the misuse of THERMITE). 911 is the spring board that got me here here to see this thermite video.  THERMITE WAS PLANTED THE PLANE WAS THE EXCUSE, (The Illusion). Brainiac

  • youre gay, shut up

  • I saw the WTC fall and I have one thing to tell you, F U . Also that thermite thing to destroy the WTC isn't true at all.

  • It wasn't.

  • watch your iPod/mp3 case if thats what it is

  • 911 - Thermite and Steven Jones on WTC Demolition

    youtube this

  • I have found that a 16/5 ratio (grams) works very well. And it does take more thermite than that to melt the steel box section. It's hot, but not that hot.

  • Dude, thermite releases dangerous UV's. You better have protective anti-uv glasses on or your a dumbass!

  • that cant be thermite.... cuz what that was in.....would be totally melted....thermite is 2.5 thousand degrees celcius... which is really hot...rip off

  • Maybe it was in something with a higher melting point. Just a hunch.

  • and have you ever thought that it doesnt melt right away

  • within that amount of time...it would of....and that would have to be some melting point...

  • ...almost became another burn victim... sad sad sad...

  • congrats you almost melted the front of your camera with thermite

    and what did you use to contain the thermite???

    it melts throught nearly everything, its what a few thousand degrees celsius?

  • over 5000 degrees Fahrenheit 5,432 to be exact

  • wuts left is molten iron so basically the iron in the rust and the aluminum switch places

  • YOUTUBE Staff - this video cant be played - but the brainiac thermite videos can - lots of users with this issue

  • that does not look like thermite, even for the small amount you have, it wouldve went right through the container you have for it.

  • I disagree it looked fine to me

  • For that thinkness of steel box section it takes longer than the thime it stayed alight for it to melt, even at 2,500C. But I once did something similar to this but used powdered magnesium, now that was hot. Lit up the room as well.

  • Thermite HowTo, by mixing 3 Parts Alluminum Fillings, to 8 Parts Iron-Oxide Powder (rust). Ignite With Magnesuim Ribbon, or a Sparkler.

  • The correct mix we learned at school was 1:2 not 3:8. Thats 1part aluminium to 2parts Iron oxide, and that works excellently. Also, befor you say anything. No I didnt mis-spell almuminium. This is the proper english spelling of the word.

  • well if ur looking at the moles its 1:2

    but u have to take in the mass and volume of each mole to calculate the correct ratio

  • guys can u make thermite with nagnallium?

  • How do u get thermite/make it?

  • Ebay

  • you bout termite from eBay hahaha you can get any thing from there

  • its not a chemical its a mixture..... lol

  • lol thanks....

  • not only that, lets put our face right up to it!

  • LOL thermite IN CUBE.

  • I love the music in the backround at the end.

  • voodoo glow skulls

  • might wanna sty back next time

  • u can use make up powder to do this

  • can anyone help me i made thermite but i cant get it to light i made a homemade magnisum ribbion with a magnisum fire starter and hacksaw but it still wont ignite can anyone help

  • you gota have iron rust, not just ordanary mild steel rust

  • You just used a sparkler to ignite it, no magnesium strips or anything?

  • yeah, theres magnesium powder in sparklers, it works way better if you empty the sparklers on top of the thermite then just light the powder. thermite lights really fast like that.

  • i mlove science

  • do you like typing with your dick too?

  • lol gud 1

  • did you replace the magnezium with the sparkler, or did you use magnezium and light it with the sparkler?

  • whats the container? all the other things ive seen have melted

  • i think its TiTANIum with slite diamond in side

  • it appears to be 2"x2"x1/4" ASTM A500 Hollow Structural Section (HSS tubing). It didn't melt because there wasn't enough thermite to do so. It sure is hot, but that heat must transfer itself into the metal to melt it. The heat soaks into edges and melts them more readily. The thermite was not in contact with an outide edge of the HSS. This is run of the mill low-alloy steel... nothing special.

  • it has to be feO3. any school kid knows that. its not red. its black. its still iron oxide. its more like tacanite pellets than rust.

  • nice, you make this yourself?

  • i see people are saying to burn concrete at 2ooo * celcius, but concrete will explode from the heat evaporating the water trapped inside long before that, so I'm not sure thats such a good idea.

  • its best to burn it over top a big sand pit.

  • can someone show a video of thermite burning through a concrete block or slab?

  • over rated video, thermite should be placed on a bridge. From here it burns a hole in the concrete and dops in to the H2O below. I have been told because it is 2000 Celsius that if thermite comes into contact with H2O you can expect a massive explosion as liquid molecules are instantaneously vaporised... Can anyone confirm or deny this? (if it is true, then putting this stuff on a bridge is the best idea :-) )

    Some one post a video response to this on a bridge and film it hitting the H2O

  • it would react violently with the water, but concrete doesn't burn, so that wouldn't work.

  • hello, emperor.

  • h20 = water,y dont u just say water???

  • if you get caught melting thermite on a bridge you'd probably serve some time, not to mention you might kill people, what if you weaken an important structural piece?

  • Try a private bridge, or one that's blocked off to be demolished.

    Just get permission.

  • can i use black iron oxide?

  • yup, that's what they use all the time. Black, Red, and i think some other colour too.

  • how woukld i go about making thermite?

  • Start with a slab of concrete OUTSIDE, this burn @ 2000 degrees C. Ok now you take black, or red Iron Oxide and aluminum powder (nothing else will work). The Ratio is 2:1, 2 parts Iron Oxide, and 1 part al powder. Enjoy!!!

  • concrete burns at 2000c?
